Chapter 739: The beginning of the storm, Zhou Tian's whereabouts

In fact, Zhou Tian should have reported to his old leader as soon as he came back yesterday. However, because his old leader was busy with state affairs yesterday, he just told him to go home and rest for a day and report back today.

That's why he ended up like this today.

Zhou Tian drove all the way to Haizi. After the inspection, he entered the old leader's office. As the New Year was approaching, the old leader had too many things to deal with. When he walked into the office, he saw the old leader with his head down, still processing documents reported from various places.

Hearing the footsteps, the old leader looked up at him and said with a smile: "Okay, it seems that you had a good rest last night. Sit down first and wait for me to finish processing this document!"

Having said that, he lowered his head and continued to correct the documents.

Zhou Tian was already accustomed to the old leader's behavior and had no objection. Instead, he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the old leader and himself.

Then he sat on the sofa and looked around carefully.

It was not until he focused his attention on the old leader that he realized that the old leader seemed to be thinner than when he left, and looked in very poor health.

Looking at the old leader's frail figure still buried in the vast sea of ​​documents without realizing it, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable admiration in his heart.

"Okay, Xiaotian, to be honest, you did launch a big satellite for us this time!"

Half an hour later, the old leader put down his pen, raised his head, stood up, and walked towards Zhou Tian, ​​smiling as he walked.

"My old boss must be joking. I didn't do anything wrong. This is all thanks to the higher-ups!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tian immediately said modestly, of course, he was not wrong in this point. If the country's strength had not been improved, it would be impossible to complete this mission.

To put it bluntly, the reason why they are willing to talk to you is because they have the backing of national strength. Otherwise, just try it a few years ago, would these countries still be so polite to you?

"Okay, you are just not honest. Although the credit goes to the above, you have also made a lot of contributions!"

The old leader sat down with a smile, picked up the tea and took a sip. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Zhou Tian meaningfully: "When you leave this time, don't forget to leave some of this tea for me!"

"Ok!"

When Zhou Tian heard this, he instantly shrank his neck. He knew that the old leader must have known that he was the one who brought the tea. After all, he had used this kind of tea last time.

Although he knew that doing so might allow his old leader to discover his secret, he couldn't just watch his old leader, who was so devoted to the people, suffer from illness.

Although the tea brewed with spiritual spring water cannot restore the old leader's health, it can still eliminate some of the pain he suffers!

And to be honest, he doesn't believe that you really didn't know some of his secrets over the years. The reason why the old leader didn't even mention it is, to put it bluntly, he doesn't believe that he would do anything harmful to the country.

Maybe this is also a tacit understanding between him and the higher-ups.

"Okay, I don't want to know your secrets, but we old guys just hope you don't make any mistakes!"

Sure enough, the old leader said something that almost made him break out in a cold sweat.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tian could only nod heavily.

"To be honest, this mission was also due to our lack of consideration at the beginning. Fortunately, everything turned out well. As for Wang Mingyuan's matter, don't interfere. Someone will take care of it!"

"It's you, on the other hand. Next, there are several options for you to choose from, including the Ministry of Industry you started with, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Army!"

When talking about the army, the old leader's voice became noticeably heavier.

"Although I really hope you can continue to stay with me, the situation up there is a bit chaotic right now, so I think you have to think carefully! As for what you choose, no one will interfere this time, you have to choose for yourself!"

After saying that, the old leader stopped talking, but picked up the tea and began to sip it with his eyes closed. He didn't realize it before, but now after taking a few sips, he found that this tea really has some miraculous effects. It is much better than the big black tea. I just don't know where this kid picked it from.

While the old leader was sipping his tea, Zhou Tian also made a decision.

"Old leader, I choose the army!"

This was not a random choice on his part, because he knew very well that the next ten years would be a very broad political struggle, and it would be better for a small fry like him not to get involved.

Even if he was imprisoned, he believed that with his previous connections, he would not be implicated as long as he did not commit suicide. But why should he owe favors to others when he clearly had the strongest protection?

"Have you decided?"

Hearing Zhou Tian’s words, the old leader opened his eyes, looked at him and asked.

"Decided!"

Zhou Tian nodded heavily.

"Okay, in that case, then you can go back. The transfer order will be issued after the Chinese New Year!"

Seeing that Zhou Tian had made the decision, the old leader naturally wanted to see him off. He was very busy with his work and had no time to chat with Zhou Tian here.

"Okay, old leader, I'll leave then!"

Zhou Tian also understood what the old leader meant. He reached into his backpack and took out ten kilograms of tea wrapped in kraft paper, placed it on the table, then stood up and walked out.

"This brat is really thoughtful!"

Looking at Zhou Tian's back, the old leader couldn't help but smile and mutter to himself, then shouted outside: "Xiao Wu, come in!"

"Chief!"

Xiao Wu walked in immediately and saluted with a standard military salute.

"Divide this tea into ten portions, each weighing one pound, and then deliver them to the chiefs!

"Yes, Chief!"

Xiao Wu naturally knew which leaders the old leader was talking about. He walked forward, picked up the tea and walked out.

However, Zhou Tian heaved a sigh of relief after leaving the lake. Although going in and out of the lake had become a habit for him over the years, only he knew how nervous he felt every time he entered there.

Every time he entered there, he felt like he was being tortured. He was nervous and uneasy. But this time it was okay. He might not have to come here again.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and took another look. He got into the car with ease and drove towards home.

Sitting in the car, thinking back to what the old leader had just said, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that the next ten years were coming, but he didn't know if these ten years would be as cruel as his previous life due to his meddling over the years.

Although he also knew that some things were necessary, he always felt that it was a bit of an overreaction!
